One of the exceptional minds of our time, Edward Said, passed away yestererday. His work on politics, theories of 'race' and the like have been extremely important and fundamental to the world of theory, and practice, and his most known work Orientalism will remain seminal for decades to come. Read a proper obitury here, and articles by the New York Times here and The British Telegraphhere. A tragic loss.
